uranium fuel

The uranium fuel for nuclear power plants is not generally considered of high enough grade to be used in weapons.

The highly enriched uranium fuel is being put into special drums.

Therefore it is impossible to build a fast reactor using only natural uranium fuel.

Uranium fuel cannot be used in bombs unless it is enriched.

"But it would like to prevent Russia from selling uranium fuel on the world market.

That argument made sense when the uranium fuel was scarce and expensive; in fact, it has not been so for years.

But the 'decay heat' from the reaction was still enough to cause the uranium fuel to begin to melt.

The expert said the reactor still appeared to have its original load of uranium fuel.

Low-enriched uranium fuels all but a handful of nuclear power plants.

Low-enriched uranium fuel was scheduled to be shipped next month.

The higher plutonium isotopes are created when the uranium fuel is used for a long time.

The department has been trying for years, with limited success, to recover unused uranium fuel at research reactors.

The new reactor is designed to use low-enriched uranium fuel and an open pool light water system.

He repeatedly insisted that continued use of uranium fuel would inevitably lead to nuclear terrorism.

Such uranium fuel can't be used for bomb-making without undergoing the difficult process of enrichment.

Uranium fuel, which is used in all but a handful of the world's nuclear plants, is no threat.

In September, a budget shortfall delayed a shipment of uranium fuel.

Thirty percent goes to the 450,000 people involved in the uranium fuel cycle, including mining and running nuclear reactors.

A large nuclear reactor will contain hundreds, if not thousands of rods filled with uranium fuel.

It continues to produce uranium fuel for nuclear power plants, now under the ownership of Cameco.

In 1966, twenty natural uranium fuel rods were stolen from Bradwell.

Tests had successfully produced "the controlled liberation of atomic energy" without using uranium fuel, the President said.

Harmful quantities of radiation are also released both before and after the uranium fuel enters the power station.

Fast neutron reactors will also be instrumental in solving the uranium fuel problem.

Soviet fast neutron reactors have been using (high U-235 enriched) uranium fuel.
